Back Away From The Cliff!

Base Jumping must be an exhilarating experience.  Not sure I could work up the nerve.  This guy did and the parachute didn't open.  He did survive and is recovering now despite what it says at the beginning of the video.  Watch if you dare.

This Kid Is Scarred For Life Shopping for Halloween decorations is important and all, but was this entirely necessary?

Modern Family's Sarah Hyland: Adele Saved My Life!

Adele's gut-wrenching songs of heartbreak on her album 21 have helped millions of fans get through some very tough times indeed.
And according to Modern Family's Sarah Hyland, one song in particular, "Someone Like You," indirectly prevented a potentially fatal car wreck.
VIDEO: Sob! Watch Adele perform her incredible song
Hyland, 20, told E! News that she and her boyfriend Matt Prokop were driving on L.A.'s notorious freeway last week during a heavy rainstorm.
"It was so foggy you couldn't see ten feet ahead of you," Hyland said.
Actor beau Prokop, 21, "had an audition and we were going through lines," she explained.

But High School Musical 3 star Prokop lost his intense concentration -- and was thus relatively less distracted during the stormy drive -- when Adele's aching ballad came on. "He would have been focusing on remembering his lines [but] 'Someone Like You' came on the radio, so we blasted it to sing along to it."
With eyes a bit more on the road during the song, "We hit a water pocket," Hyland said.
The actress explained what happened next: "The wheels turned to the right and locked and then it spun."

After spinning several times, the car suffered no damage and the couple was uninjured.
"We were just really shaken up," Hyland admits. She offered a shout-out to the Grammy-winning British singer, 23: "Thank you for saving my life!"

Need an Excuse to Gaze at the Moon? International Observe the Moon Night is Coming!

Most of us space-minded folks don’t need an excuse to gaze upon the brightest object in the night sky – our own Moon. But just in case you need a reason or are hoping to convince some friends or family to take a look with you, there’s a special event coming up that encourages more people to take the time to take a gander at our closest and constant companion in space. Saturday, October 8, 2011 is the second annual International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN). Across the country and around the world, astronomy clubs, museums, observatories, parks, and schools will hold special events to introduce the public to the Moon. There will be telescopes to look through, activities to join, and presentations from experts in lunar science will be streamed to participating event locations.
“There will hundreds of events world-wide that will share the excitement of lunar science and explorations” said Brian Day, from the NASA Lunar Science Institute, who is one of the organizers of the event.

In a podcast for 365 Days of Astronomy and NLSI, Day said that right now an especially exciting time to engage the public in the Moon. (Listen to the podcast here.) A new generation of robotic probes has brought about a revolution in our understanding of our nearest neighbor in space. Our long-held view of a non-changing and dry Moon is now being replaced with an appreciation for the Moon as a dynamic body with significant deposits of water ice, a fascinating history, and a thin atmosphere that may play a role in a potential lunar water cycle. “It is indeed a New Moon!” Day said.
There’s excitement on the amateur front, as well. “Recent developments in technology have allowed amateur astronomers to image the Moon in detail that previously was only attainable from orbiting spacecraft,” Day said. “The work that they are doing and the imagery they are getting is just fantastic So, this is a great time to appreciate what is happening with the Moon on both the amateur and professional communities.”

The overall goal for InOMN is to engage lunar science and education communities, amateur astronomers, space enthusiasts, and the general public in what has become an annual lunar observation campaign.
“The Moon will be at a favorable phase, and we are going to be able to see some really magnificent features,” Day said, “so it is a good time to show up at an International Observe the Moon Night event and take a look at what is happening in the sky.”

This year’s InOMN may provide a bit of an extra show in Europe and Northern Asia, as it is occurring on the night of the maximum of the Draconid meteor shower.
